Frank, how would you finish off this picture that we're painting?
12:38
Well, this is very difficult, actually, after these three brilliant contributions.
12:43
But I think it actually works really well in terms of what I was going to say.
12:49
So I would like to focus on technological development, which has been the focus of all three.
12:55
comments really and I would like to focus on two trends which I think map into what people were speaking about before so what kind of Yvette was really discussing was what we could call technological upgrade so you know the first China stock again like took place after a WTO accession And again, like we said, the world was flooded with Chinese goods.
13:20
But it is important to underline that the global boom for imports happened as part of the material construction of China into the world factory and linked to a lot of multinational and global and as well as Western industries moving production to China.
13:36
So this process had an important kind of effect on technological change in China.

So I think rather than asking how China is reshaping global production, I want to shift attention to asking how the green transition itself is producing new forms of inequality, dependency and contestations across space.
